Hi everyone,
how are you?
I am alright... I have just moved to Nice in Southern France where I am learning french and having a great time !!!
if it wasn't for this bloody Virus GEN/PwdZIP.
my net surfing got so so slow ( I use google chrome) and so did the downloading of anything...
so I run my cleaners (pc cleaner, adaware and Spybot)..... Spybot detects the *censored*!
it shows as IMsweets...it tries to eliminate it but it says that I am not administrator (liar!), antivirus props up (antivir free version) .. but it does not manage to delete...it just can make it.
I have already done a full scan in safe mode but ....nothing! it does not see... it finds it only if I use spybot.
HEEEELP !!! HEEEELP !!! HEEEELP!!!!
by the way I am running on W7 32 bit - it's an ACER Aspire 5920g - originally bought with Vista...
REHEEEELP !!!

AdAware is not gonna solve your issues....its a Band-Aid...
Travel to the link posted and follow the info on posting your logs...

Not only that, it's a decrepit, old band-aid. In addition to following patio's instructions I'd suggest uninstalling AdAware and replacing it with MalwareBytes or SuperAntispyware.

or you can try emsisoft antimalware (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/).
it's decent.
